We collect this information to process your ticket sale or donation and provide you with tickets you have booked or respond to information you have asked for

Occasionally, with your consent, we will use your information to undertake customer research to help us understand how we can improve our services or information, tell you about changes in our services or new services, events, offers, and opportunities to support us that we think you’ll find of interest and analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information most relevant to you.

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly we will use your personal information under Contract for ticket purchases and donations.

We will only process your information for customer research, marketing and profiling with your Consent. You can remove your consent at any time by contacting Tamworth Borough Council.  

 

Third Parties we might share information with
We will share your personal information with third parties where required by law or where it is necessary to administer your ticket or donation. Examples of the organisations we may need to share information with are:

  • Tamworth Borough Council Customer Services
  • Tamworth Borough Council Finance Department

We may share personal information with other organisations, particularly Audience Finder who use this to analyse ticket sales for national and regional research into patterns of Arts attendance in England. This assists with reporting to funders and strategic planning, helping us to make better business decisions. Your personal data is never used by them to contact you, nor passed or sold on to any other agencies or companies, and we have agreements in place to ensure this.

We fully support the Arts Groups within Tamworth and occasionally sell tickets on behalf of groups who do not have their own box office. These groups may use their own staff or volunteers and their own processes to admit customers on the door at their venue, and so require a list of customers who have booked for the performance to assist them with this.
